Has it been confirmed yet.

Can hear the commentators already. " Stroll strolling around in the Stroll"

 

Read at least 2 article saying its a done deal but then also articles saying it is highly likely.

Lots of midfield movement going on behind the scenes!!!

Saw Ocon has been just about confirmed at Renault.

Hoping Grosjean is gone soon!!!

Where does that leave Carlos Jnr?

[Steven Knoetze (sk27)]

I want to like Stroll but just can't

 

 

Just like I want Brendon to stay in F1 but dkn't see that happening either

 

Hartley?

Nah he is gone, saw an article this morning linking Dan Ticktum or Jake Dennis to his seat.

I am hoping Jake gets it, raced him in our PS4 racing leagues!!!

They really are a bunch of sour cant's......

 

BTW, you see Lewis's deleted twitter post pulling a Ashwin and saying he is undermined......

Theeeeeeeen Toto saying he shouldn't have deleted it and that he encourages the circus show around this prima-donna.

When they couldn't get that front wheel on Seb's car I knew it was over 

 

 

It really is the battle of the Finn's.

Which team can utilize their blocker/disruptor better.........

something that really pisses me off is Bottas And Kimi both just seem to roll over when the leader wants something 

 

I think kimi could have attacked bottas much harder yesterday and Bottas was all to happy chilling out while Lewis rode away to an easy win 

I suppose Bottas could still be number one at Williams

Kimi I can almost understand, he has the pace obviously but at his age he is 2nd driver for sure. But Bottas, I was disappointed when he resigned but then again with the salaries they both earn I think they suck it up hey. When the 1st drivers mess up they can pick up the odd win here and there.

 

That being said Ferrari got a lot of bad luck this weekend.

Kimi should have been on pole if not for traffic, that could have been a massive difference right there.

Then Seb with Sainz holding him up under blue flags and a iffy pit stop. The potential wasn't realized.

I just cannot stand Hamilton when he wins.......

I didn't watch on after the flag , but did bottas get any action for his crashes ?

I believe he got a 10 sec penalty for the Ricciardo clash.

 

A lot of little things and bad luck going against Ferrari recently, hope that turns around after the break.

I see in today’s newspaper that Niki Lauda is not well and had to undergo a lung transplant yesterday.

 

Apparently he had to cut short his his family holiday and flew himself to the hospital in Vienna.

Looks like he is recovering well. His old lungs were pretty second hand.

Well there is a surprise, Ricciardo leaving Red Bull at the end of the season (confirmed), and tipped for Renault?

And confirmed, Ricciardo to Renault

Hamilton made a "mistake" when he left McLaren.

 

Ferrari didn't sign Ricciardo. I assume to get Le Clerc either next year or 2020.

 

It is going to be very interesting few weeks of musical chairs. Lando Norris and George Russell need to get slotted in somewhere. Carlos Jnr might get the Red Bull seat, but he hasn't exactly set the world alight this year.

 

Ocon and Perez will be fighting over the last Force India / Stroll seat. Perez might lose out owing to him putting Force India into Administration.

 

Stoffel will most probably lose his seat, but if Alonso goes to Indy full time next year then McLaren have a huge hole to fill. Alonso in a Red Bull might be interesting but he is far too old for their image.

 

Any young driver 10 years ago would sell both kidneys to get a Williams drive, but at the moment no one wants to touch them.

 

This is far more intriguing than the racing this year.

Unless renault have some seriaaaaas rabbits up their sleeves I think Danny Ric is making A mistake , he is caught between a rock and A hard place tho

 

 

 

.....Anyone know if Alonso's contract is set in stone yet

Alonso didn't really leave the Honda door open with his public rants.
